Introduction
Find out more about how ForestPaths will provide clear forest-based policy pathways and gain insight into the project’s progress so far.
ForestPaths collaborates with several EU-funded projects. Discover how we are collectively progressing towards clear policy pathways for climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation and sustainable ecosystem services in European forests.
